INTRODUCTORY 


TWENTY  prominent  Mexican  newspaper  editors  who  are  touring 
the  United  States  as  the  guests  of  the  Federal  Government, 
were  entertained  at  luncheon  on  Thursday,  June  13th,  at  the 
Bankers'  Club,  by  the  Pan-American  Society.     About  150  guests, 
including  some  of  the  best  known  names  in  the  financial,  literary, 
business  and  diplomatic  world,  gathered  at  the  tables  in  response 
to  the  Society's  invitation.     The  affair  was  one  of  the  most  anima 
ted,  brilliant  and  sympathetic  ever  attended  by  Latin  Americans 
and  their  northern  friends. 

John  Bassett  Moore,  a  celebrated  authority  on  international  law 
and  a  long  known  and  sympathetic  figure  in  the  Latin  American 
world,  presided,  and  welcomed  the  visitors  on  behalf  of  the  Society. 
How  responsively  he  struck  the  chord  of  good  feeling  and  real  un 
derstanding  which  pervaded  this  particular  luncheon  is  indicated  by 
the  extensive  press  comments  in  the  Spanish  periodicals  published 
in  New  York.  In  this  connection  "La  Prensa, "  one  of  the  most  im 
portant  Spanish  dailies  published  here  said,  in  its  edition  of  June  14  : 

'  'It  was  Mr.  Moore  who  after  the  luncheon  bade  the  Mexican 
journalists  welcome.  Accustomed  to  dealing  with  men  of  our  race 
he  knew  how  to  treat  tenderly  the  patriotic  sentiments  of  the  group 
who  synthesize  the  active,  living  and  untiring  thought  of  the 
Mexican  nation.  With  the  confidence  that  such  a  well-known  theme 
aroused  in  him  he  made  allusions  to  Pan-American  ideals  and  con 
cluded  with  expressions  of  frank  cordiality,  prophesying  that  the 
visit  of  the  journalists  would  be  of  immediate  benefit,  reciprocally, 
to  the  Mexican  and  American  peoples  and  governments." 

Manuel  Carpio,  the  young  Mexican  editor  who  responded  to  the 
notable  address  delivered  to  the  Mexican  editors  a  few  days  before 
by  President  Wilson,  replied  to  Mr.  Moore.  Carpio  is  a  poet  and 
well-known  man  of  letters  who  was  born  in  the  State  of  Jalis 
co,  Republic  of  Mexico.  He  surprised  and  delighted  his  auditors 
by  delivering  in  faultless  English  an  eloquent  address  marked  by 
passages  of  poetic  beauty  and  prophetic  vision. 

He  was  followed  by  Mr.  James  Carson,  who  addressed  the  visi 
tors  in  Spanish.  Commenting  on  this  "La  Prensa"  said:  "Mr. 
Carson's  enthusiastic  speech  moved  all  those  present  profoundly, 
but  in  an  especial  way  satisfied  and  impressed  the  Mexicans.  Mr. 
Carson  has  lived  with  them  for  ten  years.  In  his  position  as  repre 
sentative  of  the  Associated  Press  he  knew  and  had  doings  with  the 
highest  men  in  the  political,  social  and  business  world,  and  he  iden- 

3 


tified  himself  and  familarized  himself  with  the  elements  of  the 
middle  class  as  well  as  making  himself  possessor  of  the  knowledge 
of  the  qualities  and  defects  of  the  people.  He  knows  the  country 
from  one  end  to  the  other,  and  having  full  information,  free  from 
bastard  passion,  poured  forth  the  impressions  received  with  an 
amplitude  of  ideas  and  serenity  of  judgment." 

The  Pan-American  Society  of  the  United  States  desires  to  pre 
serve  these  three  addresses  and  the  memory  of  the  notable  fra 
ternal  gathering  on  the  afternoon  of  June  13,  1918.  Hence  this 
pamphlet.

Address  of  Welcome 

BY   THE 

HON.  JOHN  BA55LTT  MOORL 

More  than  a  generation  ago  a  cele 
brated  public  speaker  startled  his  audi 
ence  by  declaring  that  the  days  of  ora 
tory  were  over.  When  he  made  this 
declaration,  he  had  been  translated  from 
the  bar  to  the  lyceum;  but,  as  the  change 
was  understood  to  have  been  dictated 
solely  by  personal  taste  and  conven 
ience,  the  declaration  was  not  supposed 
to  imply  that  the  receipts  of  the  box 
office  were  less  copious  and  refreshing  than  the  fees  of 
the  advocate.  The  speaker,  however,  soon  relieved  the 
apprehensions  of  his  auditors  by  explaining  that,  in  his 
opinion,  the  power  and  charm  of  the  spoken  word  must 
eventually  succumb  to  the  insistent,  persistent  power  of 
the  press,  working  ceaselessly,  by  day  and  by  night,  in 
the  dissemination  of  news  and  the  creation  of  public 
sentiment. 

To-day  we  seem  to  stand  in  the  very  presence  of  that 
all  pervasive  force  to  which  statesmen  bow,  and  to  which 
orators,  if  awed  into  silence,  pay  mute  obeisance;  for 
we  are  assembled  to  do  honor  not  to  a  single  represen 
tative,  but  to  a  score  of  representatives  of  the  great 
profession  that  holds  in  its  keeping  the  issues  of  war 
and  peace  and  daily  disposes  of  the  lives,  fortunes  and 
reputations  of  men. 

But,  while  we  are  ourselves  thus  greatly  honored,  we 
are  also  deeply  gratified ;  and  our  gratification  is  not  ex 
clusively  connected  with  any  consideration  of  profession 
or  occupation.  Although  we  are  accustomed  to  meet  at 
our  gatherings  citizens  of  all  the  American  countries, 
this  is  the  first  occasion  in  recent  days  on  which  we  have 
had  as  our  special  guests  of  honor,  citizens  and  repre 
sentatives  of  the  Republic  of  Mexico;  and  in  saying  that 
their  presence  is  a  cause  of  deep  gratification,  I  know 
that  I  but  express  the  heartfelt  sentiment  of  every 
person  present. 


Pan-Americanism  is  frequently  spoken  of  as  some 
thing  of  artificial  creation.  In  this  statement,  although 
it  usually  is  uttered  as  a  reproach,  there  is  a  substantial 
element  of  truth.  The  things  we  desire  and  ought  to 
desire,  and  even  the  things  by  which  we  live,  by  no 
means  always  grow  spontaneously.  Too  often  the  chief 
product  of  the  fields,  if  the  soil  is  left  to  itself,  is  weeds. 
The  main  objects  of  our  solicitude  are  obtained  only  by 
care  and  cultivation.  So  it  is  with  Pan- Americanism. 
Like  all  other  forms  of  association,  national  and  inter 
national;  like  even  the  fundamental  unit  of  society 
itself,  the  family,  it  presupposes  the  existence  of  a  good 
understanding,  in  the  preservation  of  which,  as  we  are 
daily  reminded,  the  exercise  of  tact  and  sound  judgment 
is  always  helpful.  But,  above  all  and  before  all,  it  pre 
supposes  the  existence  of  a  spirit  of  real  friendliness, 
which  seeks  to  preserve,  to  stimulate  and  to  strengthen 
good-will  by  mutual  kindness  and  reciprocal  adjust 
ments.  We  wish  nothing  more  than  that  the  Pan- 
American  Society  of  the  United  States  shall  be  regarded 
as  a  standing  manifestation  of  that  purpose. 

Until  human  nature  shall  have  undergone  a  radical 
change,  which  very  hopeful  persons  in  all  ages  have 
supposed  to  be  imminent  but  of  which  there  is  as  yet  no 
visible  sign,  differences  will  continue  to  arise  between 
nations  and  within  nations,  just  .as  they  arise  between 
and  within  individual  men;  for,  so  marked  is  the  ten 
dency  of  men  to  differ  even  with  themselves,  that  con 
sistency  has  been  declared  to  be  a  jewel.  But,  while 
differences  will  continue  to  arise,  it  is  our  duty  to  see  to 
it  that  they  do  not  grow  and  accumulate,  thus  creating 
estrangement  between  those  who  should  remain  friends. 
It  is  a  matter  of  common  experience  that,  when  differ 
ences  are  candidly  recognized  and  examined,  they  are 
found  to  be  less  substantial,  or  at  any  rate  less  difficult 
to  remedy,  than  had  been  supposed,  and  that  the  ties 
of  mutual  friendship  and  mutual  interest,  confirmed  by 
time  and  beneficial  intercourse,  are  essentially  un 
impaired. 

The  word  "America"  conveys  a  sentiment,  but  it 
conveys  something  more.  It  brings  to  memory  cherished 
associations.  It  recalls  days  of  struggle  and  of  stress 
through  which  all  the  independent  countries  of  America 
have  alike  passed;  dajs  in  which,  as  was  said  of  the 
founders  of  the  United  States,  the  American  nations, 
unless  they  should  hang  together,  were  likely  to  "hang" 
separately.  In  the  present,  as  in  the  past,  it  is  a  sum- 


mons  to  harmony.  May  it  continue  to  be  a  pledge  of 
unity  in  the  maintenance  of  a  common  heritage  of  in 
terests,  aspirations  and  ideals. 

So  saying,  I  extend  the  right  hand  of  fellowship  to 
our  guests  from  the  Republic  of  Mexico,  and  ask  you  to 
rise  and  drink  their  health,  in  token  of  that  concord  and 
mutual  understanding  which  we  wish  always  to  pervade 
the  relations  between  two  peoples  who  are  unalterably 
neighbors  and  should  ever  be  friends.  (Loud  Applause. ) 


Address  of 
Mr.  Manuel  Carpio 

«01d  King  Cole  was  a  merry  old  soul, 
but  he  never  knew,  until  he  died,  that  he 
had  lived  as  a  fool — and  he  never  knew 
why! 
Does  it  not  happen  to  many  of  us 
people,  that  we  care  not  to  know  whether 
we  are  right  or  wrong;  and  still  we  may 
think  that  we  know  more  than  others  who 
know  that  we  don't— and-  wish  them  to 
think  they  believe  that  we  know. 

I  might  use  this  preamble  in  saying  a  few  words  on 
the  political  psychology  of  Mexico. 

Many  of  the  nations  of  the  world  have  told  us  in 
Mexico,  that  they  aspire  to  nothing  else  than  making  us 
happy.  Recalcitrant  fools,  like  the  king  of  the  story, 
some  people  have  said  we  are;  but  we,  Mexicans  adoring 
the  things  we  believe  in,  have  steadily  fought  in  order 
to  get  them. 

Some  call  us  fools.  Some  others  praise  and  encourage 
us.  We  have  hoped,  endeavored,  toiled;  and  indeed,  we 
have  fought  so  much,  bled  so  much,  argued  so  much,  that 
we  seem  at  times  not  to  know  what  we  are  fighting  and 
bleeding  about. 

All  the  strifes,  all  the  ambitions,  all  the  paradoxes, 
all  the  riches,  all  the  sufferings:  that  is  Mexico! 

Blue  skies,  wonderful  scenery,  magnificent  forms  of 
love,  splendid  displays  of  heroism;  then  again,  the  tears, 
the  injustice,  the  violence,  the  hatred  and  the  sudden 
change:  that's  Mexico! 

Visions  of  a  ponderous  future,  blessed  with  the  free 
breezes  of  democracy;  efforts  and  endurance  of  a  people 
not  born  for  slavery;  passions  and  lust,  innocence  and 
beauty,  wretchedness  and  romance:  that's  Mexico! 

We  possess  the  lean  and  brave  stamina  of  Don  Qui- 
jote,  coupled  to  the  fat  and  grotesque  rudeness  of  San- 
cho  Panza.  And  the  more  we  are  as  God  made  us,  and 
the  more  we  wish  to  be  understood,  the  less  we  are  known 
as  we  are  and  are  known  to  be  worse  than  we  are. 

10 


Why!— Have  we  not  fought  for  so  long  a  time,  and 
has  not  the  press  of  the  world  reported  that  there  was 
nothing  left  in  us  worth  while  for  survival? 

But  go  to  Mexico,  gentlemen,  go  to  Mexico,  and  you 
will  find  the  family  in  all  its  pure  poetry;  you  will  hear 
the  sterling  voices  of  children  at  play;  you  will  see  boys 
and  girls  bright  with  the  joy  of  life;  you  will  see  that 
our  spiritual  greatness  has  not  changed;  you  will  find 
strong,  gallant  men,  and  wonderful  women,  in  whom 
you  will  not  know  what  to  admire  more— their  beauty 
or  their  splendid  strength  for  patience  and  sacrifice. 

That  is,  again,  Mexico. 

Let  us,  then,  start  a  new  era  of  Good  Will  and  Un 
derstanding. 

Let  us  look  into  each  other's  souls  and  find  out  wheth 
er  or  not  these  two  great  nations  are  not  fighting,  each 
one  in  its  way,  for  ideals  of  democracy.  Let  us  go  be 
yond  the  limits  of  business,  and  watch  on  the  higher 
perspectives  of  humanity.  We  have  not  a  common  psy 
chology,  but  we  have  a  common  aspiration  which  spells 
liberty.  We  admire  your  power  to  build ;  we  are  amazed 
at  your  plants  that  create  fabulous  units  of  energy;  we 
see,  astonished,  how  you  can  make  the  forces  of  Nature 
obey  your  command.  But  we  also  invite  you  to  study 
our  untiring  will  to  preserve  our  freedom,  despite  the 
conditions  that  weigh,  historically,  upon  our  lives,  and 
we  wish  you  to  see  how  we  have  paid  with  blood  and 
treasure,  the  price  of  independence. 

Mr.  John  Bassett  Moore,  a  well-known  authority,  has 
just  explained  an  elevated  and  inspiring  view  on  Pan- 
Americanism.  It  goes  well  hand  in  hand  with  President 
Wilson's  recent  address  to  us. 

We  promise,  you,  gentlemen,  to  work  for  that  mag 
nificent  ideal. 

Continental  brotherhood  is  our  dream.  Independent 
States  our  slogan.  The  slogan  of  all  men  who  cannot 
be  slaves.  You  are  proclaiming  a  fight  against  autocra 
cy.  We  have,  long  ago,  been  waging  a  fight  against 
traditionalism  and  ignorance. 

You  want  to  be  great.  We  aspire  to  be  happy— but 
we  both  must  know  why. 

Let  us  understand  each  other.  Let  us  cultivate  trust, 
good  faith,  candidness  and  friendship.  Not  that  we 
should  fear  your  cannon,  but.  that  we  should  have  no  ob 
stacles  for  knowing  your  uprightness. 

Happy  shall  be  the  day  when,  above  the  callings  of 
material  gain,  the  nations  of  America  work  together

and  can  recognize  themselves,  the  small  and  the  large, 
as  the  perfect  exponents  of  international  integrity. 

Neither  hatred,  nor  arrogance;  neither  display  of 
superiority,  nor  apprehension  of  aggression;  neither 
haughtiness,  nor  jealously;  only  confidence,  honor,  good 
intelligence  and  sound  respect.

Argentinian:  but  "I  am  a  Son  of  America."  (Loud  Ap

Address  of 
Mr.  James  Carson 


Gentlemen  of  the   Mexican  Press   and 
Friends:

^^^K  Generally  the  simplest  words  are  the 

^^^^»  most  sincere.  I  believe  that  I  can  speak 
•MB  to  you  as  friends,  since  I  have  lived  in 
your  beautiful  country  for  ten  years,  and 
have  learned  to  love  it,  as  well  as  the 
people  who  inhabit  it.  The  charming  beauty  of  the  red 
tiled  roofs  of  Cuernavaca,  the  intoxicating  fragrance 
of  the  orange  laden  plaza  of  Colima,  and  the  tropical 
splendor  of  the  beautiful  avenues  of  Orizaba,  are  some 
of  the  impressions  that  I  brought  out  with  me  from  Mex 
ico,  which  will  remain  with  me  as  a  pleasant  memory 
for  the  rest  of  my  existence.  These  beauties  can  only 
properly  be  told  by  means  of  your  beautiful  language. 

What  is  there,  really,  more  deliciously  musical,  more 
charmingly  insinuating  and  more  appealing  to  the  emo 
tions  than  that  most  beautiful  of  all  the  languages, 
Spanish!  But  if  our  English  language  has  something  of 
rudeness  in  it,  and  lacks  the  suavity  and  flexibility  of 
yours,  I  think  you  will  believe  me  when  I  say,  that  al 
though  the  English  language  is  more  brusque  it  is  none 
the  less  sincere. 

And  this  difference  between  the  two  languages  we 
see  equally  manifested  between  the  two  peoples.  You, 
with  your  beautiful  Castilian  tongue,  your  charming 
manners  and  grace  of  mind,  may  perhaps  sometimes 
count  against  us  our  simplicity  of  speech  and  our  man 
ners.  But  as  our  language  is  strong  and  sincere,  so  also 
we  wish  you  to  comprehend  our  appreciation  and  ad 
miration  of  these  exquisite  qualities  in  your  tongue  and 
in  your  character.  Try,  then,  to  enter  into  the  at  times 
hard  exterior  and  look  for  the  heart  of  the  American. 

To-day  we  are  two  peoples  in  the  ranks  of  democra 
cy.  One  of  us  is  fighting  to  preserve  this  ideal,  which 
should  be  as  dear  to  the  heart  of  every  Mexican  as  it  is 

15 


to  every  American.  I  said  that  I  had  learned  to  love 
your  country  during  a  residence  of  ten  years  there.  My 
great  desire  is  that  in  your  short  stay  in  my  own  coun 
try  you  will  learn  to  love  it  as  I  have  loved  and  do  love 
yours;  that  you  will  read  aright  the  hearts  of  the  Amer 
ican  people,  and  that  in  the  great  fight  that  is  going  on 
to  make  firm  the  democracy  of  the  free  peoples,  Mexico 
will  raise  her  voice  as  have  the  United  States  and  other 
peoples  with  such  aspirations. 

One  hundred  and  thirty  years  ago  we  fought  for  our 
liberty,  and  won  it.  A  century  ago  you  fought  for  yours 
and  obtained  it.  We  had  our  Washington,  you  had  your 
Hidalgo,  and  while  we  have  a  memory  in  our  hearts  of 
these  great  and  noble  patriots,  no  evil  can  menace  the 
liberty  of  the  two  peoples. 

Like  us,  you  have  had  your  days  of  trial  and  tribula 
tion,  but  as  we,  you  also  rose  from  the  fight  more  free, 
more  strong  and  regenerated  and  making  a  grander  na 
tion  and  a  more  perfect  race. 

It  is  a  fact  well  known  to  statesmen  who  rule  the 
destines  of  nations  and  men,  that  the  greatest  epochs 
have  always  been  preceded  by  others  of  blood  and  hard 
ship  and  this  lesson  of  history  shows  us  that  we  as  a 
people  are  on  the  eve  of  a  new  era  whose  watchword 
will  be  always  ' 'Progress/' 

From  time  immemorial  there  stands  guard  over  the 
beautiful  valley  of  Anahuac  those  two  majestic  senti 
nels  with  vesture  of  snow,  called  Popocatepetl  and  Ix- 
tlazihuatl,  and  mutely  they  have  comtemplated  a  pano 
rama  of  changing  scenes  from  the  days  in  which  the 
gold  barque  of  Montezuma  floated  over  the  waves  of  the 
lakes  until  to-day. 

In  all  that  long  space  of  time,  Mexico  has  lived;  and 
it  would  be  contrary  to  reason  and  justice  if  this  march 
towards  progress,  free  and  untrammelled,  should  be  to 
day  interrupted  or  held  back.  No,  the  sky  of  Mexico  is 
too  blue,  the  caps  of  these  two  mountains  too  white  and 
pure  to  admit  such  a  horrible  thought.  It  could  be  only 
to  the  contrary  in  the  single  case  that  the  enemies  of 
democracy  should  conquer. 

In  ending,  permit  me  to  tell  you  of  a  thought  which 
is  for  me  the  soul  of  the  business  which  brings  us  here 
to-day,  and  it  is  the  idea  of  the  brotherhood  of  man: 
Washington  and  Hidalgo  gave  us  political  independence; 
Lincoln  and  Juarez  liberated  us  from  great  moral  evils; 
but  it  is  to  us  Mexicans  and  Americans,  the  statesmen  of 
the  future,  to  whom  is  assigned  the  task  grandest  of 

16 


all,  to  all  appearance  Utopian,  of  writing  in  the  pages 
of  history  the  sentence:  "My  country  is  the  world,  men 
my  brothers."  Then  and  only  then,  shall  the  dividing 
lines  be  really  only  imaginary,  war  an  evil  scarcely  re 
membered,  and  then  will  be  realized  the  great  dream  of 
Christianity  and  of  all  nations: 

4  'Glory  to  God  in  the  highest  and  peace  on  earth  to 
men  of  good  will  ! ' '     (Loud  Applause. )
